All-Female Takarazuka Revue does "Chicago"

I am thinking about getting tickets for this. Chicago is one of my favorite shows and I am curious. I have never visited Japan so am unfamiliar with this troupe. The show will play in July at the Koch Theater as part of Lincoln Center Festival. Anyone familiar with Takarazuka? Thoughts?

Would love to see this, but sadly no holiday plans for New York this year

Perhaps someone will mount an all-male production at some point?

Takarazuka has an unique culture and definitely has a long history (100+ years) of producing all female shows. In order to be on the stage of Takarazuka, you have to apply and take an entrance exam for two year Takarazuka music school, no exception.

Those actresses who will come to NY for Chicago, they "graduated" from Takarazuka and now perform on other stages. You can see a video clip of their Chicago. BTW Youka Wao is a wife of Frank Wildhorn.

Those Takarazuka fans are so dedicated, it's like Redsocks fans. They travel EVERYWHERE for their performers, so I won't be surprised that the tickets will be sold out quickly. Yes they'll come from Japan and possibly see all the performances (seven?) once they get here. So to experience one of Japanese cultural phenomenons without traveling there, you should get a ticket once it's on sale.
